I think that some of the success that vegas is having this year is a little based on pride, "hey boys, your prior teams did not want you and traded you here or exposed you in the draft", so it is us against the world
as for coaching at the nhl level, I guess it is really hard to know what to think unless you are in the room; however, my thought is that by the tiem these players get to the NHL, they have played and practiced 1,000's of hours and they should know how to prepare and be ready.
to me the coach provides a basic playing structure/system, along with some in game adjustments. I would think a good coach would have to adjust his system to fit the players along with making in game adjustments.
